From personal experience he won't be banned. But members will flag him and hopefully that will prevent potential scams from happening.

He will because he is stealing my Identity. I saw before too when Badbear banned who try to steal Identity.

I have previously had two people attempt to scam people by stealing my identity they weren't banned but flagged with negative trust. After the accounts are flagged they are generally abandoned.

No, they were banned too. The feedback was just to warn anyone who already been sent a pm before he was banned.

Ok thank you for the response.

We ban them if we find out about them. If you see an impostor PM'ing you, report their PM, if you see their posts, report their posts. You can check if the impostor gets banned after your report by visiting the modlog: https://bitcointalk.org/modlog.php

Ctrl + F and type in the user id of the impostor in question
If they were banned, their uid might show up next to "Nuke" or "Autoban". I'm saying "might" because I recently found out that if an admin gives out a ban, there will be no entry in the modlog. Which makes sense looking at the prefix of the word "modlog", but it would be more convenient if it were otherwise (except when 10k accounts get banned for vote rigging and the modlog considerably increases in size, but then again I don't know if this is really a big problem).


Thanks for banning that user who try to scam through my name.

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
Sorry, it's probably a stupid question but what is "vote rigging".

^ what hilariousandco said, I should have used the term "poll rigging". Now that Newbies can no longer vote in polls, so it's not a problem anymore (at least it requires more effort), but there may be other instances where a large amount of accounts has to be banned.

On the topic of scamming can you look at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pm-broken-819515. The guy is a serious spammer kook that's sending me wierd PMs.

Block him: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/questionauthority-72795

Report him if tries to get around it by creating a new account.

Oh hell! As long as I've been here I didn't know you could do that but I've never really needed it before.
Thanks!

Vote rigging in this context is probably when someone creates or uses many accounts to rig a poll. And just report unsolicited PMs.

I thought that's what it meant but couldn't see the profit in wasting that much effort to do it.

I can just delete the PMs (which I have) but he is really just posting a bunch of wierd crap everywhere. I think he may be a little mentally disturbed.

Your posts are poopy. That is why. IDK why I cannot get PMes though
